How middle market leaders drive growth
This week on Can We Talk in Private? we’re celebrating National Middle Market Week, an officially recognized week highlighting the highly influential, yet least understood segment of the U.S. economy. In this episode, co-hosts Alan Flannigan and Andrew Korz are joined by Doug Farren, Executive Director of the National Center for the Middle Market at The Ohio State University, the leading authority on the state of middle market firms.
Alan Flannigan: It’s National Middle Market Week. Now officially recognized the first week each October, the National Week highlights the highly influential yet least understood segment of the U.S. economy.
Here at Future Standard, we are acutely focused on the U.S. middle market, so it’s cause for celebration. Throughout the week, we’ll be posting middle market-related content and research on the Future Standard LinkedIn. But we're thrilled to start the week here on Can We Talk in Private?.
Our guest today is Doug Farren. Doug leads the National Center for the Middle Market at the Ohio State University. The Center is the leading authority on the middle market, and we’ve been privileged to partner with them both in prior research and in celebrating National Middle Market Week.
Doug and team are out with a new piece this week titled Appetite for Expansion, How Fast Growers Drive the U.S. Middle Market. The perfect guest to kick off an exciting week. Let’s talk with Doug.
